Disaster Capitalism and class war at its finest folks.
>inb4 "Muhh MARKET... increased demand.. higher prices... the market... THE MARKET DECIDES"
If you have a wife and 3 kids, who the fuck has a spare $16,300 kicking about for a flight? I certainly don't. Nobody but the 1% could afford that, nobody but the rich.
>Nobody but the 1% could afford that
yet all the seats will be full. why?
Miami Population, 2016 - 453,579
Miami-Dade County population, 2015 - 2.693 million
>What is supply and demand
its not fair, but they wouldnt raise prices if it meant leaving seats open
So you're saying there's not enough resources to go around? don't worry you can always buy a $2000 life jacket or some $20 bottle of water if you're feeling thrifty.
saying 'in b4' doesn't make those arguments invalid. Muh Supply, Muh Demand. If you value equity over efficiency then FINE, but the majority of Sup Forums will disagree with you over this underlying value that you are really wanting to discuss.
Then don't fucking use Delta.
>what is price gouging
oh well look who strikes again!
it just means he's already heard the song you're singing.
in this case it's not really price gouging because there are far more people than could fit on flights
most of the rescue people distribute water. life jackets should be bought to prepare for emergency.
What is
>literally not enough aircraft to possibly fly people
It's cool tho for South Beach clubs to charge me $50 for a Goose & red bull and a bottle of water. . Fuck of op
Ever hear of a car?
An airplane ride is a luxury.
>Delta has finite amount of flights
>Delta should divert flights from other areas just to service florida
>Implying you can't literally drive 4 hrs to another location if you're actually evacuating
>live in region that gets hit by hurricane or massive storms
>don't buy, prepare, and maintain emergency supplies and plan exit strategies.
>cry about it when said natural disaster is over horizon and you didn't do shit about it until the last fucking minute.
Fuck, at least hurricanes can be seen and tracked for a little bit. I live on the west coast, we have earthquakes, and that shit will strike with no warning. Morons who don't at plan for whatever recurring natural disaster that exists in their areas should not nanny'd into thinking they did nothing wrong.
start walkin now jefe'- you have until sunday...
This. Drive to fucking Naples. My brother is perfectly fine living on the beach daily there. Do the same.
> ffs I hate you Miami niggere
whats 2+2? in4 "4" is my point
Drive.
They could just get on a greyhound
>>literally not enough water bottles or gas to hydrate or fuel everyone
it doesn't matter what the resource is, there are laws that bar companies from raising prices in times of desperate need. they will be fined for this, but the fallout from bad press will be much more expensive.
>inb4 "Muhh MARKET... increased demand.. higher prices... the market... THE MARKET DECIDES"
>inb4 you reply with a valid argument -- it's not a valid argument!!! I said so!! So please don't bring it up. *shitposts*
>If you have a wife and 3 kids, who the fuck has a spare $16,300 kicking about for a flight?
Who the fuck decides to live right up on the coast? Who decides to live in a flood plain? Who decides to live in motherfucking tornado alley? The only people I feel bad for in these situations are my own. You're not going to get me to feel pity for third world invaders who are sucking up the resources as we speak.
Get out commie.
Booked a plain ticket to manchester for 60 euro. Friend is on the same flight but booked 2 days later and he had to pay 180.
That's the basic law of nature. Only the strongest survive.
Doesn't the us have laws that prevent this exact thing from happening? If so, rip delta.
Yep. Happens all the time.
"Evacuating" from a hurricane in a plane? For the price of one regular ticket you can pay for gas and drive your whole family to the west coast. And you save your vehicle from getting totaled.
Also the price always gets jacked up astronomically when you try to buy a ticket for same/next day travel. Doubt the price gouging has anything to do with the storm...
Just thinking out loud here...
corporatism
Is Delta the company that knocked the Chinese guy out too? Lol it's like they just don't care about bad media
This is just poor quality bait man
>Not using a comfy car
Spotted the dumb American.
How is some kid that got lucky and was born to rich parents, thus is able to fly out because his parents pay for it, stronger?
Dumb American.
Lowering the prices isn't going to make the product any less scarce.
so because you heard it before it's wrong?
wtf lazy retard aussie go to bed
I work for Delta and this person is full of shit
>$574 to $3,258
this is probably the last seat on the plane so the automated ticket price system raises the price based on demand
>mixed seat/cabin classes
this bitch bought a first class seat for at least one leg of the trip
>arrives Sep 7
you're buying a ticket 24 hours before the flight of course it's going to be over $1K
$3K is pretty expensive to fly to PHX from MIA but an automated system probably saw millions of people looking at flights and automatically bumped up prices
>yfw this blows up in Delta's face
Are you 12 and did you just download the Hiya chrome extension to larp from GBR?
Oh look - the ideology who killed 150 million people. Yes, let's listen to what you have to say.
So funny to see poltards fall over themselves to defend their masters, the same masters that are flooding their countries with non-whites for cheap labour. You deserve everything you get.
Dumb American
This is how scarce resources are allocated. If you didn't raise prices steeply during times of great demand, then you would get resource misallocation.
Natural selection to get rid of the poorfags
Hopefully in 5 years I'm flying for Delta so whatever they do is fine by me. That chinese dude was a dumbass.
>140472564
They are a buisness not a charity, you inbred murican
Besides, 3k for a life isn:t that hefty of a price.
As for your wife and children, who tf told you to spread your inferior genes, you fat fuck.
I dont know why idiots like you breed in the first place, if you dont have enough money to support your family in times of crisis
>he thinks capitlism is good at managing resources
There is no resource management in capitlism. Everything is sold as fast as possible with no thought of the future, you dumb mises kike.
Welcome to Donald Trump's America.
That's not natural selection.
Go back to high school.
Then they should take the bus. Why should anyone be entitled to cheap air fare?
>evacuating
>by plane and not by car
>thinking this is a good idea
iirc they have the lowest customer satisfaction for years running and they treat pilots for shit. you should look to JetBlue
Die poor cunt
The increased price means they will cancel flights in other parts of the country and divert them there instead.
It also means the company can buy more planes for future use. Ticket prices are automated now anyway.
Actually they have the highest pilot salary and give the best benefits from what ive heard. Jet blue is just a no frills cattle car. Which is fine
Wow capitalist fundamentalists -(((globalists))) - are traitors.
Who ever would have thunk it.
I hope niggers swarm the airplanes and go on a Cops style wild ride. Fucking niggers obviously own Delta so no loss.
I mean that shit is wack for sure but you're retarded if you think only the 1% have $16k. What are you some retarded 20 year old? It's called a savings account retard. Me and my fiancé have more than twice that in our savings and we definitely aren't 1%ers
They can charge whatever they want. If you don't like the price, pick a cheaper flight on a different date, or choose another airline. If they're all this expensive, no one will buy the tickets and the prices will go back down
>no frills cattle car
I've flown quite a bit and I really like them. I flew New Orleans to New York a few times with them and it was a nice, comfy flight every time. I'm no expert, but I would call Southwest a cattle-car-tier airline.
Theres a limited capacity for flights outbound from the hurricane areas.
The only way you'd be upset is if you were an autistic retard who didn't both looking into how companies schedule their flights, and how they're booked months in advance and how companies cant just fucking magically spawn planes out of nothing to get people evacuated!!!
The price is obviously going up because of increased demand. Its their job to make money, not help your sorry ass.
Fuck you socialist cunt!
top kek at all the fags agreeing with the cunt, here's a video that explains the situation
youtube.com
Oh look, the global economic ideology that kills 20+ million a year through lack of water, food and treatable disease because there is no profit to be made from it.
that has killed over 100 million in the past 3 centuries in horrific wars
that holds ridiculous contradictions:
1) Infinite growth on a finite planet
2) The destruction of its own ecological foundations through deforestation, pollution and climate change
this time it's American Airlines.
1) the governor can prevent crisis profiteering if he wants to. This happened in Texas last week.
2) there are other ways to leave.
>be retarded niggers
>live in a high risk area for huracanes
>best part is that almost evey pice of land is not higher than 1m above sea level
>they anounce that an huracane is aproaching your shitty ass land
>got 5 days advance notice
>try to leave by plane instead of just driving out
how stupid people are?
oh look, the leafposter hiding behind a false
flag
Hahahaha. The same thing would happen in a communist state except it would be due to inflation, not increased demand.
You deserve it. You keep electing pro-market conservatives, you keep ignoring climate change, you don't try to change you lifestyle, even a little bit.
You deserve getting blasted by 2 hurricanes and companies screwing you over. In a few decades it's gonna be 3. Enjoy
if the government hadn't bailed out the airlines we would have better and cheaper air transportation
socialism is a cancer that hides behind crony capitalism
>Not keeping the paltry sum of $16,300 in the couch for a rainy day.
This is so stupid, literally just use a car you fucking retard.
They are Jews but I'd be on the plane unless I drive out. I've got a Range Rover and apparently they can go through deep water.
Are they totally trapped, why isn't the army helping?
For the price of 3500 you can literally buy a used car and drive to the other side of the country.
sup retard, care to address those 2 problems for me?
>Infinite growth on a finite planet
>The destruction of its own ecological foundations through deforestation, pollution and climate change
"leafposter" isnt insulting in the slightest, i came from the earth, i am a part of nature, this is how i view the world and it gives me peace.
You should try opening your mind and realising that we are a part of nature, we are not above it. journals.sagepub.com
>Dont blame me, it's the Algorithm
...
>get hurricanes bi yearly
>never once occured to build brick houses
It's like sodom and gomorrha all over again
stay poor lol
yeah that's exactly what he's saying, dumb ass
yeah everything should just be free when we really need it or really really want it
>being 4 years old
China is way more destructive of the environment tho and companies like planet x are ultimately going to launch us out of earth. If we keep capitalism is because we don't have anything better for the moment. Give it some years, and something better will show up, but that's not communism.
dumb whore doesn't understand basic supply and demand.
>The increased price means they will cancel flights in other parts of the country and divert them there instead
Irrelevant even if true. Poster above said it was likely automated. Sounds more likely. A program doesn't consider the cause for the rise in demand.
>yeah everything should just be free when we really need it
Not free, but in a crisis, it should cost you the same it did the day before. If companies can profiteer from people fleeing danger, where does it stop? That's why there are rules against gouging
I have 1.2 million dollars and don't even have to work because I can live of interest. I'm richer than you poorfag.
I thought summer was supposed to be over. Why isn't this child at school?
>ancaps will defend this
>not responding to the argument
>attacking the poster instead
classic
your economic structure doesn't change the logistics of delivering goods to effected areas, just the distribution.
your damaged airport can move XX,XXX people but it needs to move XXX,XXX people a day, how do you choose?
Seems perfectly reasonable to me, people with higher IQs make more money, thus they should be the first to survive, calm you jimmies
That was United.
can you blame them?
at the end of the day you're going to take the cheapest nonstop flight, seat comfort is a secondary consideration, followed by time/date
if kim jong airways is doing new york to seattle for $90 i don't think his media press would effect him much.
Don't they have any trains in america?
Why don't liberals understand basic economics?
Can't they just fill up on gas and drive the fuck out of there?
It's called price gouging and it's illegal.
>what is price gouging
It's not like they are on a fucking island
>Causing the death of millions is as bad as people dying away from your borders
Why are commies this stupid?
